Zeng Yuanxun handed the secret letter into Li Shuheng's hands.
Li Shuheng took the secret letter and read it.
After a while, after reading the contents of the secret letter, he raised his head and looked at Liu Heng and said: "We have long known about the war waged by the slave chief Huang Taiji against North Korea, but we didn't expect that the North Korean side would be so useless. Not only was it deceived, , and also lost a lot of money and food, which suddenly made the slave thieves fatter, and they have enough supplies to deal with possible internal instability."
"If North Korea was really capable, it would not ask for help from the Ming Dynasty when the Japanese pirates invaded the Wanli Dynasty. After so many years, North Korea's military strength will only become weaker." Liu Heng was not surprised at all by North Korea's incompetence.
What's more, even the Ming Dynasty couldn't deal with the army of slaves and thieves. It was impossible to expect North Korea to deal with it. Otherwise, Amin and others would not have been killed in the hinterland of North Korea last time, and North Korea's Li Zhu led his people to hide in Ganghwa Island. .
Li Shuheng said: "With this replenishment on the part of the slaves and thieves, if they lack supplies in the future, they will seek North Korea. If they want to expect civil strife within the slaves and thieves due to lack of supplies, it will take longer to prepare."
"North Korea has been weak due to thalassemia for a long time. It is expected that North Korea cannot support so many slaves and thieves. At most, it can help them temporarily relieve the pressure. Huang Taiji wants to keep his big gold alive, and his final target will only be us." Liu Heng said.
The Central Plains is the place that everyone yearns for. He understands Huang Taiji's ambition and cannot easily give up the opportunity to take over the Central Plains. Otherwise, even if those Eight Banners soldiers don't care whether they take over the Central Plains, the Han ministers who have taken refuge in Xiao Jin value it very much. A little bit.
Once Huang Taiji reveals the idea of separatist rule, it will definitely make the Han officials under his control become alienated.
Zu Dashou said: "The slave chief is preparing to make preparations with Xiao Ming. Although our alliance was broken by us, I am afraid that the slave chief will give up so easily and will continue to contact Xiao Ming."
The CIA had planted spies in Jiangnan very early.
Liu Heng picked up a baton on the side and clicked a few times in the area where the tiger-shaped flag intersected with the slave bandit forces.
Hu Ziqi had internally analyzed Huang Taiji for a long time.
"It's still time to send troops," Liu Heng said. "We have just captured Beizhili, and Shandong has only been captured for a long time. We need to absorb all those places."
Zu Dashou nodded in agreement.
For Hu Zi Qi, as long as Xiao Ming takes the initiative to change and loves this piece of fat and can't swallow the fat outside his belly at any time, it depends on when Hu Zi Qi takes action.
"Xiao Ming's forces have entered Nandu, but they are still suffering from internal conflicts, and there are many corrupt officials internally. The military is still taken seriously, and everyone is eating empty pay. It is difficult for an army without combat effectiveness to threaten us, even if If we are allowed to develop, as long as we have no strength, we will fight to the death." Lu Lan said lovingly.
The generals in Liaodong are a monolith in themselves, and they are only tied together by the disadvantages brought by their salary in Liaodong.
Zu Dashou said: "Li Shuheng was so young in Liaodong. Even if he defected to the slaves and traitors, he would use his military power to find ways to have less autonomy. The slave chief Taiji wanted to completely digest the Guan Ning army. Li Shuheng It must be a way around the threshold."
As the power of the Ming Kingdom shrunk to the south, there were even fewer secret spies placed within the Ming Kingdom's sphere of influence in the south.
"What Lao Wu did in the Shanhaiguan battle was indeed wrong." Liu Heng said, "Yes, we can be careless. Once we give up the control of slaves and thieves in Liaodong and concentrate on dealing with Xiao Ming, it is very unlikely that we will encounter anything behind us. Attack by slave thieves.”
If we combine for profit, we will naturally divide for profit.
If this person continues Lao Nu's early political line before he ascends the throne, even if Xiao Jin dies, his strength will be slowly reduced. It will basically be like now. Except for Lushun and Fuzhou in the Liaodong Peninsula, other places All fell into Xiao Jin's hands.
"If you want to deal with Li Shuheng, you have to divide and win over him." Liu Heng said, "If you were Huang Taiji, you would do something to the people above Lu Lanyan. As long as you promise enough harm, no one will choose to betray. Li Shuheng, accept the disadvantages handed over by Huang Taiji."
"Compared to Xiao Ming, slave thieves are our real enemies." Liu Heng stood up from his seat and walked behind the wall.
Zu Dashou said: "Master, are you planning to use troops against the slaves and thieves?"
Lu Lanyan said worriedly: "I'm afraid the slave thief will give us too little time. Will he take the initiative to attack at that time?"
Zu Dashou said: "In the battle at Shanhaiguan, it was fortunate that Lao Wu acted in time. If it had been a few days later, Shanhaiguan would have been handed over to the slaves and thieves by the officials guarding the Shanhaiguan."
Xiao Ming, who only knows internal strife and has not changed at all, has not lost the qualification to threaten the Tiger Flag.
Regarding the situation of the Ming Dynasty in Nandu, Liu Heng did not have a good source of intelligence, and he knew some things even less than some officials of the Ming Dynasty itself.
"Now Xiao Ming is a few-year-old child who is the emperor. The people who control the minor powers in the court are seven ministers who are in charge of life. Except for the guarding eunuch who wants to send troops to the north, the remaining eight are probably just trying to seize power. Even if they are seduced by the slave thieves to send troops, they may not be sincere. As long as the war is beneficial, I am afraid they will withdraw immediately. So for Xiao Ming, it is enough to keep an eye on us. For the time being, they are prepared to overly stimulate us and keep us. Tossing around in the south." Lu Lan said.
"So the only threat to the Tiger Flag is the slave thieves in Liaodong." Lu Lan clicked on the location of Liaodong on the map, and then said, "The slave chief Taiji has a very strategic vision. Once we attack the Ming Kingdom in the south, , if I send troops to help the Ming Dynasty pull in front of us and consume our strength, it will be easy to take the Tiger Flag to the Ming Dynasty."
"The slave chief Taiji is very ambitious." Liu Heng looked at the location of Liaodong on the map and said, "Sometimes he wants to retreat into the hinterland of the Central Plains. If we hadn't taken Shanhaiguan first, we would have been taken over by the other side. Shanhaiguan is equivalent to opening a small door to retreat into the Central Plains. We cannot come to the Central Plains to plunder anytime and anywhere to fill our shortage in Liaodong."
Zu Dashou said: "The slave thieves are indeed more difficult to deal with than the Ming army."
Zu Dashou walked over and stood next to Lu Lan.
Zu Dashou thought for a while and said: "My lord, do you mean to concentrate on dealing with the slave thieves in Liaodong?"
He reached out and opened the curtain behind the wall, revealing a giant map in front of him.
Zu Dashou said with a heavy smile: "If the Ming Dynasty's own internal strife is slight, it will also cause the slaves and thieves in Liaodong to become smaller and bear the burden of Liao's salary, which will accelerate its own destruction."
"I still don't know if my lord has received the news. The Qufu Kong family and some scholars want to let the Tiger Character Banner open Enke to recruit scholars." Lu Lanyan said suddenly.
"Yes." Liu Heng said, "Huang Taiji has just recruited the Liaodong generals headed by Li Shuheng. It also needs time to digest Li Shuheng's power. Then it depends on which side completes the transformation under strength first, and then takes action. when."
